Inside 'horrible,' 'icy' first meeting held by new San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins
Meeting attendees said that Jenkins opened her remarks by stating that even though she campaigned for the recall, she still cares about Boudin hires. The attendees said that Jenkins did not offer many specifics on how she would run the office, so at one point in the meeting, someone asked if she had any concrete directives. Jenkins responded that she wanted a review of every single case in which a plea offer had been made but not yet accepted by the suspect, and the purpose of this review would be to determine which plea offers to withdraw. When someone told Jenkins that would mean reviewing thousands of cases, she then said she wanted to prioritize drug cases.
The staffers said Jenkins did not delineate between cases of possession (usually drug users) and cases of possession with intent to sell (usually drug dealers), and offered no timeline for when this task was supposed to be completed. She concluded the meeting by telling people in attendance that no one would be fired on Friday, but she plans on meeting with people in the near future for a possible "reshuffling" of the office.
